Mahira Khan comes down hard on vitriol

Tension is not just brewing between India and Pakistan, but their people as well. Even film industry has not been spared. The decades-old rivalry has gripped attention of billions of people world over.

This all started with an Indian journalist’s demand to throw Khoobsurat actor Fawad Khan out of India after the Uri base attack which claimed 18 Indian soldiers’ lives following Indian forces’ atrocities in held Kashmir in the recent months.

An Indian political party MNS also jumped into the bandwagon and called for a ban on Pakistani artists.

When Raees actress Mahira Khan became victim of such a vitriol, she did not let it go unnoticed and gave a befitting reply on her an Instagram post.

“If your mother would have beaten you with a stick, you wouldn’t have uttered such nonsense,” she responded to a comment made by Saamiii786 who said “Apko india se abhi danday nahi paray,” (You have not so far beaten up by India).

Rest of the matter was adeptly handled by her fans from home and across the border.

Indian artists who are featuring Pakistani actors are also facing the backlash and celebrated director/ producer Karachi Johar is one of them.

MNS has told Karan that his new film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (ADHM) will not be allowed to run in Maharashtra cinemas.
